In the course of his con vermtlop with the correspondent. Earl LI said he should prefer to meet the ministers and commissioners at his house, If such an arrangement were pottlble, on account of the condition of his health, but would not. In the cir cumstances, make suggestions. He says also that the emperor is desirous of complying In all particulars with the demands of ,the powers. On the other hand he thinks the pow ers should ord-?r a cessation of the f re ntier: t irritating expeditions, which he looks upon as unnecessary, and as do ing a deal of harm. It will be quite pos sible now, he said, to maintain com plete order In the province, with the assistance of a small number of Chi nese troops: and he hopes the powers will agree to keep as at present the troops now stationed at Pekln and Tien Tsin along the railway.

China will endeavor, said Earl LI, by every means in her power, to prove that she Intends compliance with the demand contained In the note, and to show her desire to make the country safe and habitable for foreigners. He believes the powers will not Insist upon the total destruction of the forts. CZAR.PRAISES HIS SOLDIERS. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 1.
